Some People Won't Be Driving Home For Christmas

Spare a thought for those who are serving humanity somewhere far, far away...

And pray you never end up in their shoes.

*********

What could unite a
Roman Legion and the Caledonian army they are fighting?

Or a US Cavalry Company
with the Native American tribes arrayed against them?

How about a highly
trained and motivated Special Forces unit and the terrorists they have been
sent to wipe out at all costs?

Yes…

What could such a
diverse and mutually aggressive group possibly have in common?

Arden – and the Horde,
that’s what!

Arden, home to a culture that has existed for
thousands of years and which spans dozens of worlds. Regardless, their
sophistication cannot prevent calamity at the hands of an unstoppable nemesis.
Known only as the Horde, this enemy has proven relentless. They have not only
stripped the outer colonies bare, but now threaten the existence of the entire
Ardenese way of life.

Realizing there is nothing they can do
to prevent the inevitable march toward extinction, the Ardenese governing body
comes to a drastic decision. They gather together at their capital city,
Rhomane, and place their remaining genetic heritage in a vast underground ark,
in the care of an advanced AI construct called the Architect. Its
mission? To use Rhomane’s dwindling reserves and safeguardtheir race by reaching out across time and space
toward those whomight be in a position to
help reseed a devastated world at some timein
the future.

That’s
how soldiers from varying eras and vastly different backgrounds find themselves
together. Snatched away from Earth at the moment of their passing they are
transported to the far side of the galaxy. Thinking they have been granted a
reprieve, their relief turns to horror when they discover they face a simple
but stark ultimatum:

Put
aside your former animosities and preconceptions in order to survive. Yes…

Fight or die!

How does this group of
mismatched and antagonistic misfits fare?

Do they survive?

Find out for
yourselves, in The IX.

… And remember…

Sometimes,
death is only the beginning of the adventure!

If you're stuck for a little something to while away the hours this Christmas...

*For you or a loved one*

Don't forget the epic sci-fi blockbuster - The IX.

Released at the beginning of 2015 to critical acclaim, it reached #1 in a number of countries around the world and has maintained a healthy international ranking ever since.(Peaking at #3 so far)

What's more, it still holds the top spot in at least 10 (Yes - Ten) Goodreads categories.*******Perhaps you remember these reviews from the leading lights of speculative fiction?Weston deftly weaves the horrors of the Horde stealing human life-essences, with the beauty of his prose and imagery. Action-packed through every chapter. I highly recommend this book to fans of SF/fantasy, & horror. Amazing StoriesThe IX has taken me back to the books I enjoyed in my youth (Jerry Pournelle's King David's Spaceship or Gordon Dickson's Hour of the Horde) It flows wonderfully. There's constant motion,& Weston takes the story in unexpected directions that are intriguing & fun. Black GateWeston knows how to keep the reader on the edge of the seat without feeling as though the mission will never end. This is a complex combination of history, imagination& science fiction magic as is available today. A strong book by a solid author. Grady Harp: Hall of Fame/Top 100 /Vine Reviewer

When it comes to science fiction, I want a book that captures me from page one and never gives me a reason to want to escape. I want a book that forces me to stay up until 3 a.m., because there is no point at which it is ideal to put it down. I want a book whose characters and plots are complex and intelligent, but elegantly crafted with the minimum of distraction. The IX delivers.Fanboy Comics

The author's knowledge of military history & his speculations about what might have happened to the legendary Ninth Roman Legion have led to an amazing trip through time & space to a world where things are not ever as straight-forward as they seem. Blending in believable science & classic elements of old Westerns, Weston has created a truly delightful story.This Dark Matter

Interview with the Grim Reaper

Name: My name is Daemon
Grim

Ageat death: I
have no idea. I only know I look about thirty-five years old.

Please tell us
a little about yourself.

I’m the Reaper. And yes, before you
ask, I’m that Reaper, Satan’s bounty
hunter. As the title implies, I hunt down and silence anyone who is – or is
likely to become – a threat to infernal security, or an embarrassment to Satan’s
infernal or demonestic policies.

How do you think you ended up in Hell? What sins have you committed?

Who I was before I came to Hell, or
what I did, I haven’t got a clue. There’s a hole in my mind that prevents the
retention of any memories from the time before.
My first recollections of unlife are of waking up before a roaring log fire, in
the presence of His Satanic Majesty himself, and being welcomed home like a
long lost son. It was He who invited me into his inner circle, and appointed me
to what was to become my true vocation. I haven’t looked back since.

Describe your
appearance in 10 words or less.

Your worst nightmare, attired in
kick-ass, gothic ensemble.

Where do you live in Hell? Tell us about your residence and area.

My suite is situated at the top of
Black Tower, in what humans would call, the Tower of London, smack-bang in the
middle of Olde London Town itself. For those who don’t know, that’s in the
Juxtapose level of Hell. I’ve lived there since I can remember. My Hell Hounds,
(fellow bounty hunters) and the Inquisitors, (Satan’s Special Interrogators),
have their own apartments there as well, so we can be close to our base of
operations.

The entire complex and grounds is known throughout
the many layers of the Underworld as the Den
of Iniquity, but my team and I just refer to it as The Den.

Juxtapose is a great place to live, as its environs
constantly blend into other epochs and levels of Hell. You can be walking along
a busy, traffic-clogged street one minute, and find yourself having to jump out
of the way of a horse-drawn carriage as it clatters along cobbled Victorian
roads the next. It’s confusing when you first arrive, but once you get used to
it, well…I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

Do you have a
moral code?

Yes, I have a moral code, I never lie.
I know that might sound weird, coming from a denizen of Hell, but I’m keenly
aware of how my role reflects on Satan’s integrity. So, I always ensure to act
in a way that can never be criticized. And when it comes down to it, I’ve found
displaying such a trait really strikes
fear into the hearts of my prey. Once I’ve been set on you, there’s no escape.
I can’t be bribed, fooled, or conned. I don’t feel sorrow or remorse. If you
appear on my list, you’re dead. You might as well turn yourself in at the
Undertakers and save yourself a lot of bother. Annoy me and make me work for it
– and I’ll let my Inquisitors cut you up and feed the choicest parts back, bit
by juicy bit, before they let you pass on.

Do you get any
time for enjoyment, apart from your job that is?

Sure. I think it’s important to get
away from relentless blood-letting now and again. It keeps my mind sharp. So, I
like to sex things up with those few who have the stamina and fortitude to stay
alive at my touch, and I listen to music a lot. Because of my antiquity, I have
tastes that range from classical to modern. My preferred classical pieces are
Camille Saint-Saëns, Danse Macabre and The Isle of the Dead by Rachmaminov. But
I also listen to Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Evanescence, Nightwish and Clan of
Xymox.

Any particular
favorites?

It depends on my mood. Although I’m
always in the mood for Mojca Zugna and Floor Jansen. Or were you asking about
the music?

Do you have
any phobias? Are you plagued by anything particular in Hell?

Other than the dread of not being able
to track down and capture a fugitive from injustice, I don’t have any phobias.
But I must admit, when I’ve been away from the Bâlefire for too long, I get
plagued by the strangest dreams of falling stars, burning skies, and gaping
pits of dense darkness from which nothing can escape. If only I could
understand what they all mean, I think I’d be that bit closer to understanding
my origins.

What do
you think Satan’s most creative punishment is here?

Ha! Without a doubt, the twisted idea of giving the
masses what they crave, so long as it’s perverted in some way. For example,
there’s nothing quite like witnessing the suffering of some poor fool who
happens to be the world’s most accomplished pianist, only to watch him
literally crash and burn before an audience. And there’s so many ways to
torment them! I’ve watched several souls begin to play, only to forget how to
read music midway through their recital. In other cases, their finger bones
might break during the chorus, or they’ll be driven mad by the notes they hear.
I’ve even heard of one idiot who was determined to create a new opus magnum,
despite the fact Satan had blighted their hearing, and cursed them with a form
of tonal dyslexia. It was hilarious listening to the beginning of an absolute
masterpiece, only to watch the performance disintegrate into utter farce by the
close of the first movement, because what they’d written ended up sounding like
total gibberish.

Brilliant!

You can probably appreciate why I love it here so
much.

Who are
your friends here?

Because of the sheer volume of souls I’m sent to
reap, I keep my circle of friends small, and limit them to just the Hell Hounds
and the Inquisitors.
For those who don’t know them, the Hell Hounds are as follows:

Nimrod, King
of Shinar, and my lead Hound. A mighty hunter in opposition to God. Then
there’s Yamato Takeru, otherwise known as Prince Ōsu. Yamato is a legendary
ninja killer from first century Japan, who brutally murdered everyone who ever
stood in his way. My final hunter is a guy called Champ Ferguson, a notorious
Confederate guerilla fighter and butcher from the American Civil War.

Then we come
to the Inquisitors.

First of
all, I have to mention the person who keeps me sane. Strawberry Fields, aka Red Riding Hood. She’s a siren of death
who will happily eat your liver as she showers you with kisses.

Then there’s
Leonard Skeffington, a previous Lieutenant of the Tower of London itself. We
affectionately refer to him by the pseudonym, Crusher, as he invented several remarkable torture devices in life
that we still use today.

Baron Ferenc
Nádasdy, a sixteenth century Hungarian nobleman, and his wife, Elizabeth
Báthory come next. While relationships are usually frowned upon in the
Underworld, His Satanic Majesty has made an exception for these two.

Ferenc goes
by the codename, Red Baron, a
tongue-in-cheek reference to the foes he has vanquished in battle. For a
denizen of Hell, he’s an honorable man, who prefers to give prisoners a chance
to spill the beans before he spills their guts. History refers to his wife as,
‘the Blood Countess’, but we know her as, Nutcracker
Sweet, because of her fetish for crushing certain parts of male prisoners anatomy.

Finally,
there’s Myra Belle Star, aka, Black
Velvet. An infamous outlaw from the end of the nineteenth century, Myra is
a crack shot, who has adapted to the position of Inquisitor rather well.

Who are
your enemies?

Everyone who has ever been condemned to Hell, for
I’ve reaped their souls a thousand times, and will continue to do so until
creation falls.

You
mentioned relationships are frowned upon? Does that make life difficult?

Not really. I am one of the few denizens who is
allowed the freedom of expressing my desires in any way I wish. Of course, my
Dark Father has seen fit to capitalize on this golden opportunity in a typically sadistic way. Remember, anyone I
touch – skin to skin – dies instantly. A bit of a bummer during those intimate
moments, unless that person also happens to have special dispensation.
Ah, you’ve gotta love His sense of humor...?

What do
you think about your author?

I’ve followed his life closely ever since he
faced-down a poltergeist in one of the homes he’d grown up in. (One of ours, in
fact, a Dread-Lock). Despite the fact he was only three, he would not back down
and kept testing the wraith to see what it would or wouldn’t do. Even the
nightmares we triggered backfired. In the end, the sneaky bugger seemed able to
recognize he was sleeping and gained control over his dreams. We saw potential,
and steered him along a certain lifecourse after that. Talk about
fruitful...especially his military life. But that’s another story. (You get a
clue from his team nickname – Red)...and
it has nothing to do with the color of his hair)

Please give us
an interesting and unusual fact about yourself.

Despite the fact I’m out and out evil,
I have to recharge my essence on a regular basis in one of the most powerful
satanic power sources in existence, the Bâlefire. Without its arcane puissance,
I would lose my augmented strength and become like anyone else. Weak and
pathetic.
Apart from that? I’m really light on my feet, and just so happen to be a pretty
good dancer. I’d be fantastic, if I
could just get a partner who managed to stay alive long enough. (Where’s Amy
Lee when you need her?)

Oh, and I’ve also been told I’ve got
“Come-to-bed” eyes. So long as that means your deathbed, fine.

Which books do you appear in?

I was introduced in a short story...Grim, in the “Doctors in Hell” anthology
from Janet Morris’ Heroes in Hell universe.

While I had to keep it tame there, my own adventure gets much more brutal, bloody and
downright wicked.

Try it - you'll come to love the Shared Universe concept, and get to know me before we meet for real:

Sunday, November 29, 2015

so its only fitting his adventures seem to be achieving that same status too.

This past week has seen Hell Bound climb into the top 10 on different sides of the globe, proving once and for all, Daemon Grim has one killer of a story to share with you.

******

And don't forget the reviews:

The author of Hell Bound, Andrew P. Weston has an appealing way with words. He paints written words like a master.

For a book about hell, demons, and very bad things, this book was beautifully written. There were times when I would re-read a section just because it was so evocative.

Andrew Weston really knows how to write an enthralling book! His words really pulled me in and didn't let go. I hope to see more from him soon.

An excellent mix of film noir imagery with sophisticated writing that dares the reader to slow down, savor each word, and slowly become immersed in this very real depiction of our own reality and that which exists beyond the veil of death. A true example of writing that elevates the reader's own appreciation and expectation for the genre of urban fantasy.

Fanboy Comics - Review of Hell Bound

No rest for the wicked.
Such is the theme of Hell Bound, Andrew P. Weston’s newest addition to his
growing collection of novels. The souls of Earth’s most vile and despicable
humans are cast into Hell, rolled like dice into a sinister House where
injustice is the high card and evil’s the royal flush. Their dealer: Daemon
Grim, Satan’s very own pit boss . . . who just so happens to be the Grim
Reaper. Imbued with supernatural powers and a list of the damned, Grim drags
the very worst of humanity to Hell, where they spend eternity in various levels
of pain and horror - and where they never seem to win the hand. Because, after
all, eternal damnation isn’t meant to be fun.

Unless, of course, pain and horror is
your fun. And, with players like these . . . you’re bound to find a sadist
or two who revels in the opportunity to bet against the house and challenge the
Grim Reaper to a game of wits with their very soul at stake. But, no one beats
the House . . . until now.As Weston effortlessly weaves
together a surprisingly tangible and unexpectedly humorous vision of Hell as a
grimy, rotting version of Earth’s London, we join Grim as he hunts down a soul
who’s eluded his fate at the hands of The Undertaker. Grim and his enforcers, a
trio of Hell Hounds, along with help from the Fiendish Bureau of Investigation
and some fantastically named ladies, Bella and Donna Nightshade, make their way
into the very bowels of Hell and discover that injustice and evil only feed upon
each other. It turns out, inviting the very worst of humanity to sit at the
same bar where they can hatch a plan to collectively take down the House
probably wasn't the best idea His Infernal Satanic Majesty has ever had. But,
of course . . . that’s what his Pit Boss, The Reaper, is for.Ultimately, Weston’s novel is
highly inventive and surprisingly enthralling. It’s a mob drama with a taste of
the supernatural (and Weston’s signature love of all things involving the space
time continuum). Despite the fact that these characters are genuinely unlikable
individuals, I find myself intrigued by their stories. They’re fascinating
looks into what evil might resemble if evil was allowed to flourish openly.However, while I enjoyed the
stories and found the characters supremely disgusting (exactly what you want
when your characters are, quite literally, demons)...I found myself distracted
by Grim’s tendency to talk to himself ...That being said, once you get used to
the snappy dialogue and the way the characters think, the story falls into
place.Hell Bound is a vividly wrought story of evil at its best,
and while it took me some time to get inside Grim’s head, the story was
compelling and a fascinating venture into the world of unsequestered villainy.
Now, admittedly, it was more of a cop/mystery story than I was expecting (and I
typically stay away from mystery novels), so if that’s not up your alley, I
suggest giving it a few chapters and seeing if the world is intriguing enough
for you to continue exploring. For me, I had no problem diving further into the
dredges of Hell, betting on Weston’s world building to win me the hand even
when I was worried the cards weren’t in my favor.

Exordium of Tears

Book 2 of The IX Series

Exordium of Tears

Fight or die.That simple yet brutal reality is the tenet by which the refugees from Earth – including the fabled lost 9th Legion of Rome; the 5th Company, 2nd Mounted Cavalry Unit; and the Special Forces Anti-Terrorist Team – were forced to live by while the Horde menace existed. Believing that the threat is over, thesurvivors now yearn to settle down, start families, and reclaim the lives stolen from them.But such aspirations might remain beyond their reach, for a shadow looms on the rose-tinted horizon of new beginnings.The release of the re-genesis matrix has done much to foster a restoration of exuberance across Arden. Along with a resurgence in floral and faunal diversity comes the results of splicing the Ardenese and human genomes: transmutation. Ametamorphosis of stunning magnitude that not only affects the living, but those still is stasis as well.Recognizing the emergence of a new hybrid species, the Architect – the arcane AI construct tasked with the preservation of the Ardenese race – responds by unlockingpreviously hidden and inaccessible areas of the city. It also releases an archive of sealed state secrets. Such revelations are eagerly perused, whereupon a shocking discovery is made.Prior to the fall, it was common knowledge amongst the Senatum (the highest levels of Arden’s government) that not all the rabid Horde had joined in the rampage across the stars toward Arden.Realizing that the peril still exists, the newly reformed administration elects to respond in earnest. Existing resources are utilized, suitable candidates are chosen, and a flotilla of ships is sent out to secure, quarantine, and reclaim the outer colonies. A mammoth and hazardous undertaking. And nowhere more so than at the planet from where the outbreak was known to have originated – Exordium – for there, the ancient Horde are not only supremely evolved and highly organized, but are capable of a level of lethal sophistication, the likes of which has never been witnessed before.It is into this kiln of incendiary potential that the cream of Arden’s fighting forces is deployed.Worlds are torn asunder, suns destroyed, and star systems obliterated. Yes, tragedy is forged, in a universe spanning conflict which proves once again that…

Death is onlythe beginning of the adventure.

The task force dispatched from Arden to eradicate the Horde menace failed, and for those few left alive, the tenet by which they have survived for so long resounds as never before.

Fight or Die!

Now marooned, out of time and out of place, the survivors lick their wounds and struggle to recover while the Horde gather their strength for a final strike that will change the course of history forever. The fate of the galaxy – and more – hangs in the balance.

But fate, it seems, isn’t done with the Ninth, and our heroes find themselves forced to mount a last-ditch attempt to end the threat once and for all.

Will the darkness be vanquished, or will our heroes’ efforts finally signal the beginning of the end of their adventure?

Hell Bound

International #1 Bestseller

Hell Bound

In hell, none of the condemned believes they deserve to be there. And that’s fine, so long as they’re not foolish enough to try and do anything about it. For those that do, there’s always Satan’s Reaper–and chief bounty hunter–Daemon Grim.Feared throughout the many layers of the underverse, no one in their right mind dares to cross him.However, when Grim discovers that someone has attempted to evade injustice, and seems hell-bent on gaining access to ancient angelic artifacts proscribed since the time of the original rebellion in heaven, circumstances point to the fact they may be doing just that.The question is...why?Thus begins an investigation that leads Grim throughout the many contradictory and baffling levels of the underworld, where he unearths a conspiracy that is not only eating its way like a cancer through the highest echelons of Hellion society,but one which threatens the very stability of Satan’s rule.

As you can imagine, Grim’s response is bloody, brutal, and despicably wicked.

Pieces of Hate******************It's sink or swim in this swashbuckling adventure where Daemon Grim, Satan's Reaper, is sent on a quest to recover booty of great value to His Infernal Majesty.But what lurks at the center of Skull Island? Is it truly treasure, or will there be fools gold aplenty in a tale that proves once and for all that, when it comes to burying something in your chest, blood money is the only currency the Reaper recognizes.

Hell Hounds

Coming October 31st

Hell Hounds

Feared throughout the many circles of the underworld, Satan’s Reaper – and chief bounty hunter – Daemon Grim, is known as a true force to be reckoned with.

Having eliminated a major player in the uprising eating its way like a cancer through the underbelly of hell, Grim is stunned to discover he cannot afford to rest on his laurels, for the rebellion runs far deeper than was ever imagined. New players have emerged – denizens with uncanny abilities – who seem determined to support Chopin and Tesla’s revolutionary agenda.

Ever keen to test their mettle, the Sibitti – personified weapons of the ancient Babylonian plague god, Erra – also appear eager to capitalize on the growing unrest, and set about maneuvering events in order to place themselves in direct opposition to Grim’s investigation.

And if that was not cause for concern enough, there’s an insane angel on the loose, a creature as hell-bent on creating havoc as he is to return home.

How do Grim and his rabid pack of bounty hunters respond?

Baying for blood – doesn’t even begin to describe it.
